The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RGP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install RealArcade

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RGP.
Programs to open RGP file
Remember to download programs supporting RGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealArcade with RGP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RGP file to open in the RealArcade application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RGP file with the RealArcade program.
Step 3. Update RealArcade to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RealArcade program, it is possible that RealArcade Game Package requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RealNetworks, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RGP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RGP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RGP file. However, remember that not every infected RGP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RGP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RGP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RGP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RGP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
